Key Announcement on Soil Law

In the recent episode of the "Conselho de Líderes" program aired on TSF, the Socialist parliamentary leader, Alexandra Leitão, revealed significant changes to the soil law that will allow for construction on rustic lands.
The proposed changes will only be permitted under two specific conditions:

  1. Housing prices on these lands must remain below the median price.
  2. There must be a continuity in the urban landscape to prevent scattered constructions.

This move has sparked discussions about urban planning and housing affordability in Portugal.
